Shopping Girl’s Dream

This is a little shadow box I got for $1.00 at Hobby Lobby in the clearance section because what ever was in the shadow box had been ripped off.

Knowing I would use it at some point, yep, I bought the silly thing.

I’m so lucky to have all my Cheery Lynn Designs Dies to work with. Here is what my $1.00 “purchase” turned out like.

Improvement, agree?

I took the Reflections Scalloped Circle Die, and used it as a 1/2 circle for the banners at the top.

Other dies I used are: Zig Zag Ric Rac, Japanese Wall Frame, Sentiment Frame #2 and Embellishment #2.

I framed the sentiment on the bottom with Scalloped Rectangles.

All my papers are by Authentique Paper and the stamp set it called If the Shoe Fits, by Unity Stamp Co.

I think this turned out adorable and I hope you enjoyed my post today. This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana posting for Cheery Lynn Designs.

Our current them is STITCHING.

Gel A Tins Stamps – Little Piggies

5 Apr

Hello everyone..

I am here with yet another cute card today.

I am using the set called:

PET SHOP

When I make a card, I will often choose which image from which stamp set I want to use for my card/project.

With today’s card, I knew I wanted to use the piggies from the Pet Shop set.

So I started to look for different phrases for pigs and came up with nothing.

So then I decided to make my own background paper using the “This little piggie” poem.

I then mounted my piggies on the background paper and created a cute baby card.

I made the inside sentiment to go along with the theme.

I just think the piggies and the different shades of pink I used make a wonderful card!

My advice for today: Always look for the unexpected.

With a little imagination you can make almost any stamp set you own fit into a certain theme you need!

Gel A Tins Botanical Card

2 Feb

Today I want to show you a card I came up with by a brief thought I had. I actually saw the card in my mind and well the rest was just sort of recreating it from memory.

I am using the set called Big and Wild Things.

I started by stamping the long grasses with a light blue.

The other botanicals I stamped in 2 different blues, getting darker each time.

I wanted to have the dandelion really stand out from the rest so I framed it and embossed it in red.

I then just accented the red slightly by adding patterned papers and rhinestones.

Here is one last look!

Like I always say, think out side of the box, my post today is a perfect example of how I am always thinking outside of the box!

I hope you have enjoyed my post today! Be sure to visit the Gel A Tins blog because we have some AMAZING designers that are always coming up with new things to try!

Have a great day and see ya next week with more GEL A TINS fun!

Gel a tins with Authentique Paper

25 Jan

Today I want to show you a card I came up with just by looking at the wrapping on my Authentique paper Miracle Collection Kit.

Just by looking at the above I thought it’d make a great background. Here it is cut to the size I needed.

You can see here, I am adding my layers of Cheery Lynn Designs border dies, fabric tape etc.

For the stamps I embossed them in a powder that is a bit “shabby chic.” The image is distorted slightly, but it works for this card.

The set I am using is called:

Sugar & Spice

Here is the card all assembled.

I love the soft colors and they playful stamps.

Such a cute card for a new bundle of joy!

I hope you will remember to look at covers of paper pads, kit inserts and packaging. There is always something that can be reused, just like I reused the kit insert on this card! Just remember to always, think out side of the box!
